Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The aim is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot diamond. Players on the batting team take turns hitting against the pitcher of the fielding team, which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and later advance via a teammate's hit or other means. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team records three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning and nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.
Evolving from older bat-and-ball games, an early form of baseball was being played in England by the mid-eighteenth century. This game was brought by immigrants to North America, where the modern version developed. By the late nineteenth century, baseball was widely recognized as the national sport of the United States. Baseball is now popular in North America, parts of Central and South America and the Caribbean, and parts of East Asia.
In North America, professional Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are divided into the National League (NL) and American League (AL), each with three divisions: East, West, and Central. The major league champion is determined by playoffs that culminate in the World Series. Four teams make the playoffs from each league: the three regular season division winners, plus one wild cardteam. Baseball is the leading team sport in both Japan and Cuba, and the top level of play is similarly split between two leagues: Japan's Central League and Pacific League; Cuba's West League and East League. In the National and Central leagues, the pitcher is required to bat, per the traditional rules. In the American, Pacific, and both Cuban leagues, there is a tenth player, a designated hitter, who bats for the pitcher. Each top-level team has a farm system of one or more minor league teams.
The person in Right Field is called the Right Fielder.
The person in Center Field is called the Center Fielder.
The person in Left Field is called the Left Fielder.
All three of them are called Outfielders.
There is no midfielder position in Baseball. There are, however, two positions known as middle infielders; The second baseman and shortstop. These two positions play on either side of second base (the second baseman on the right and shortstop on the left) and are considered the two most important positions on the field. The shortstop is almost always the team's best fielder.
Middle infielders receive most of the ground balls hit by opposing batters, and so they must be excellent fielders with strong, accurate arms. They are each responsible for covering second base, depending on the circumstances, and are responsible for relaying throws from outfielders to the target base. In addition, the shortstop is the team's leader, calling signals and positioning players before the pitch is thrown.
the right fielder stands in right field and field any balls hit his way or backs up the 2nd and third basemen incase a ball gets past them
